About this work
Overview
Alfredo Sinclair's 1978 screenprint, Untitled, is a characteristic example of the artist's mature work. Sinclair was a Panamanian artist with a background in art education, having studied in Argentina and taught in Panama.
Subject & Meaning
The print depicts two figures standing together, their features blurred. One figure wears a striped hat and light coat, while the other has a darker hat and blue sleeve, set against a dark, indistinct background that may suggest a domestic or interior setting.
Technique & Style
The screenprint is executed in a bold, graphic style, with flat colors and thick, uneven brushstrokes that give the work a rough, handmade quality. The lack of shading or blending adds to the print's graphic, two-dimensional effect.
History & Provenance
Sinclair created Untitled in 1978, during a period of established practice following his studies at the School of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires and his founding role in the School of Fine Arts at the University of Panama. The work is now part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
